And to continue my theme, I LOVE "Agony" from Into the Woods, and the little-known "You're Nothing Without Me" from City of Angels!!

      That's oversimplifying. There's also the reveal to Raoul that the Phantom is the father of his boy and of course the bet which is kind of the main plot point of Love Never Dies. So while there is certainly potential wasted in this song, it at least moves the plot along.

    • @naastyaaaaaaaaa
      @naastyaaaaaaaaa 3 года назад +59

      Wow wooow! How about the actual bet? This song practically decided their fates. Christine sings - she gets umm.. happily ever after with the Phantom. Christine doesn't sing - she goes back to this wasted mr HerHeartWillAlwaysFollowMe. So.. No. This song has a lot of weight in the plot.))

      Something about a lack of emotion seems more intimidating, especially when you compare it to the emotion on Raouls face as he sings. Then when you add the height difference it’s just creates extra intimidation. Until they start singing about Gustav and you can see a sliver of emotion on his face

Right after Raoul saw him but before he said "no, it can't be" Ramin gave a cheeky "hi" to Raoul that cracked me up. Ramin's Phantom is very flavourful that way. Over all, I think the whole scene of Devil Take The Hindmost is kinda funny. The bar tender thing throws you for a loop, and yet, it's somehow believable. And to think all Meg would've had to do to have an actual conversation with The Phantom was to wait a little longer for her coffee. The whole thing is beautiful. Anyway, I'm rambling! Totally agree! 😅

Devil take the hindmost is definitely one of my favorite scene's from LND. I like at 1:44 when he is fixing his clothes and is giving off an "ew, he touched me" vibe!

      When they both have each other by the shirts, it feels like Eric is speaking at that calm pace because he knows he’s in control.

      @@sierrawatson8314 On one hand I feel a bit sorry for Raoul in the sense that he knew deep down that he never fully had Christine’s heart and he had to have been suspicions about Gustave being his child, which of course he’d never admit to Erik.
      But on the other hand his acting like a royal jerk to her all the time, drinking and gambling their money away and giving Gustave the cold shoulder…was all his own doing, and it just opened the door for Erik to swoop in and seduce Christine right back into his arms.
      I really don’t think Christine would have left Raoul for Erik even though her heart would have still badly wanted to…IF Raoul hadn’t shot himself in the foot by depriving her of love for ten years.
      Christine is a very self sacrificing person and I think she would have given up her hearts desire (Erik) and left with Raoul to keep her family intact IF he’d still been loving toward her…and Erik knew that, hence why finding out Gustave was his child was so essential to spurring him on to fight to get her back, as he knew she didn’t have much left tying her to Raoul…it was just a matter of getting her to give into her hearts desire.
      Erik knew how to play his cards right, you have to give him that…and Raoul walked right into his trap.

    I'm not afraid of him.
    ..No, it can't be...
    THE PHANTOM:
    Not afraid of me, you say?
    RAOUL:
    Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you!
    THE PHANTOM:
    Insolent boy! You think you own more of her soul than I do?
    RAOUL:
    She is my wife. Your music may speak to her, but her heart will always follow me.
    THE PHANTOM:
    You think so?
    You really think so?
    Follow you..
    With all your... charms?
    ...
    Look at you, deep in dept
    Stinking drunk, pitiful!
    Shall we two make a bet?
    Devil take the hindmost.
    RAOUL:
    Look at you, foul as sin
    Hideous, horrible
    Call the stakes, deal me in
    Devil take the hindmost.
    THE PHANTOM/(RAOUL):
    Our Christine shall choose tonight
    (Let her choose)
    Is she yours or mine?
    (Draw the line)
    If she sings you lose tonight
    (I won't lose)

    You leave from here
    RAOUL:
    Fine!
    THE PHANTOM:

    RAOUL:
    Very well, let's begin
    BOTH:
    Devil take the hindmost!
    THE PHANTOM/(RAOUL):
    (You think you have the odds)
    Our old game
    (You think you're in control)
    It's been changed
    (You think you've fixed the dice)
    Every throw
    (Well I will gladly roll)
    Riskier
    (I'll bet against the house)
    All the rules
    (I'll even double down)
    Rearranged
    Fate has redesigned most.
    (Fortune's on my side
    I won her long ago!)
    Cut the deck
    (I won her from you then)
    Let us play
    (I wager even now)
    You and I
    (I'll win her back again)
    Once again
    In the end
    (And when the game is done)
    Either way
    BOTH:
    Devil take the hindmost!
    Now Christine shall choose at last
    Is she yours or mine?

    - London - Ramin: Sarcasm, Mockery, and Contemptuous
    - Australia - Ben: Sassy, Bold, and Badass
    No one is overrated or underrated, to me both Ramin and Ben have played their "own version of Phantom" and that's why they have been remembered and get recognized. Why must we compare them to each other? Just enjoy the song and that's all.

    Lets all agree on something: this was a much needed epilogue.
    Songs are great and even bring back some nostalgic flashbacks to the first one

    Found out and fell in love with Love Never Dies when it was available during quarantine. This (and it's reprise) and Dear Old Friend have got to be the best, most vindictive and angry songs on the show lmao. Love it.
